i totally agree there is something to the fact that if you are willing to deface and defile your body that way because you are not happy or satisfied with it the way it is that you have some other issues that also underly that i really dont think its a coincidence that the whole tranny and gender dysphoria came after that body image dysphoria that led to this tattoo mania or recent years it started in the s and has only been getting worse and ever more apparent that its a mental derangement and illness edit and as i was reminded in a point below the mental illness is also manifest in the heavy makeup and changed hair color to abnormal and unnatural colors its a kind of disfigurement out of selfhate and selfloathing remember emos
